I have one of these, also available on Amazon

Thanks for the quick response and information. I read the other posts on where to measure to get a more accurate measurement of the water temperature which is probably the most important rather than the engine block

Both a practical and a fun tool to have. My grandson get a hold of it once in awhile and takes the temps of everything, including the dog.

Aside from your interest in temperatures at specific locations, you may want to adjust your OE dash gauges.
As you probably know, these OE dash gauges, especially the temp and gas gauge, at best show approximations. I added good quality aftermarket gauges, including a voltage gauge. Then when I re-wired the backside of the dash board, I disassembled the OE gauge assembly and re-calibrated each of the OE gauges to best show what the mechanical gauges displayed. The OE temp and gas gauges required the most adjustment.
